The World Press Photo exhibition opened at Montreal’s historic Marché Bonsecours and will remain on view until 12 October 2026.
The show presents a curated selection of photographs that have received the organization’s annual awards, offering visitors a chance to see recent examples of award‑winning photojournalism from around the globe.
World Press Photo, an international association that recognises excellence in visual news reporting, travels its annual exhibition to cities worldwide, allowing the public to engage directly with images that have shaped public understanding of current events.
The Marché Bonsecours building, a landmark in the heart of downtown Montreal, provides a spacious and historic setting for the display, linking contemporary visual storytelling with the city’s cultural heritage.
The exhibition is free to the public and runs continuously through the stated end date, inviting residents and visitors alike to explore the power of photography as a record of history and a catalyst for conversation.
Images cover a range of topics, from conflict zones and environmental change to social movements and human interest stories, reflecting the breadth of issues reported by journalists.
By gathering these images in one venue, the exhibition provides a tangible archive of moments that have been captured by professionals working under challenging conditions.
Since its opening, the exhibition has attracted a steady flow of visitors, contributing to the cultural programming of the Marché Bonsecours and reinforcing Montreal’s role as a hub for international art and media.
